I feel for you there. IFR is the ultimate Jedi mind-screw training wise. The positive side is that the checkride is a little more lenient since the DPE already trusts your judgement. Just watch the new changes to void times, that just changed 8-1. They need some night/IFR type missions in BoP. Make us navigate to the target on instruments, then give us a narrow opening in a broken ceiling to bomb the target. Asking too much? Probably.I think this is the first console game where I have seen all of us with an actual pilots license (only the FAA calls it a certificate), come out in droves. Has anyone paid attention enough to the Spitfire cockpit to know if the Turn Slip Indicator is working and accurate?
It's a shame they couldn't bend the historical rules a little and give us a PAPI, that would be a lot of fun to mess around with. They should at least make you use a VOR on simulator or realistic, they were invented at the time. If we can't get an IFR mission, give us a mission where you have to track on the VOR to your target. Once again, that is not asking too much for such a great game with such a realistic representation of flight.
